Introducing Duke, a 9-month-old lab mix who’s blossomed into a playful, affectionate pup.  He is waiting for his new family to meet him at the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society (WVHS) shelter.  He is honored as the Pet of the Week for January 20th.

When Duke first arrived at the WVHS, he was a bit shy and unsure, but with lots of patience and care from the staff, he’s already coming out of his shell.

Duke now loves to run and play, especially with his favorite stuffies, and he’s made a few doggy friends along the way.  Consider bringing your own dog if you have one in the family to see how they get along.
